Three Firsts for Me

[dicejr2011]

Ad one of the best days I've ever had metal detecting. I found a lot of trash, but came away with three firsts for me. Not in the best shape but I'll take them.

Flying Eagle Cent
Shield Nickel
2 Cent Piece

Nice trifecta! Anyone of those by itself would have made a good day. You had a GREAT day!!

I haven't found any of those coins yet! They're pretty scarce here in SoCal. Nice going!

Congrats. Without giving too much away, can you tell us a little about your hunting ground?

Hey Grant, thanks for looking, to answer your question, it's a cow pasture. But it's a cow pasture behind a house that was built in 1860, and in the middle of it was another house, now gone, that was built in 1830, and at the other end of the pasture is a house that was built in 1789, so the property has seen a lot of activity, including a tannery across the street from it. And the dates make sense since I also have found an 1828 large cent and last week an 1874 seated dime. Can't wait for a little rain to moisten the dirt and see what else this pasture will give up.

Sounds like an ideal spot. I hear you about the rain... Ground has been dry! Hard not to make messy plugs.
